FOUNDATION OF THE DEPARTMENT OF ENGINEERING The Department of Engineering of the Johns Hopkins University was opened for the instruction of students in October, 1913. Provision is now made for graduate and for undergraduate instruction in Civil, Electrical and Mechanical Engineering. The establishment of the Department of Engineering was made possible by the passage of an Act of the Gen- eral Assembly of the State of Maryland in its session of 1912. The preamble of the Act quotes the Declaration of Rights of the State as follows : “ the Legislature ought to encourage the diffusion of knowledge and virtue, the ex- tension of a judicious system of general education, the pro- motion of literature, the arts, sciences, agriculture, com- merce and manufactures, and the general amelioration of the condition of the people.” The Act further states that its purpose is the extension to the people of this State of opportunities, facilities and advantages for education in applied science and advanced technology not available to them at present. The Act provides a liberal appropriation for the erec- tion of buildings and the purchase of equipment, and a continuing annual appropriation, available to the Univer- sity each year. In conformity with the purpose and provisions of the Act the University offers a number of scholarships grant- ing free tuition to residents of the State of Maryland. (See page 15). 8 Graduate Courses GENERAL PLAN OE INSTRUCTION The academic year will extend from October 1st to about the middle of June, in conformity with the usual schedule of the University. Certain courses in the under- graduate curriculum will also he conducted in the summer months. The undergraduate curriculum will include Mathe- matics, Physics, Chemistry, and other subjects, as already provided in the College of Arts and Sciences of the Uni- versity. These courses will be conducted in the present class rooms and laboratories. Both graduate and undergraduate professional courses will be conducted in the new laboratories at Homewood. These laboratories, designed after careful study, will pro- vide every accommodation and facility for professional instruction. Their equipment also has been chosen with particular reference to advanced study and experimental research. The first of the buildings of the laboratory group will be ready for occupancy in October, 1914. Graduate Courses in Engineering The graduate courses will offer advanced professional instruction. The progress of the several branches of En- gineering will be followed in the current literature. Fit- ness for independent study and investigation will be de- veloped by seminary methods and in the laboratory. Special opportunities will be offered for research and for experiment in the solution of engineering problems. Effort will be made to maintain intimate contact with public corporations and municipal and State departments, and with others engaged in engineering enterprise, with the purpose of studying their problems and so aiding in the scientific progress of the methods of Engineering. Undergraduate Courses 9 The graduate work will be inspired by the same ideals, traditions and purposes which have enabled the University to assume its present position in other fields of graduate activity. The University has always offered, as a part of its regu- lar curriculum, a number of courses which aim to present the most recent advances in the several sciences from the point of view of theory in its bearing on industrial appli- cations and public needs. Among the more important of these courses may be mentioned Bacteriology and Public Hygiene, Chemistry, Applied Geology, Physics and Ap- plied Electricity. Details are given in the University Register. Through the close relationship between these courses and the graduate work in Engineering, exceptional opportunities will be offered for specialized professional instruction and investigation. The encouragement of individual initiative and inde- pendent study in the graduate courses will constitute es- pecially valuable training for those who desire to become teachers of engineering subjects. Detailed statements regarding graduate instruction will be furnished on application. Correspondence is es- pecially invited as to the facilities which may be offered for the investigation of special problems in the fields of Civil, Electrical and Mechanical Engineering. Undergraduate Courses in Engineering The undergraduate courses will aim to give the student a thorough training in the principles of the several branches of Engineering, and an introduction to the meth- ods of practice. Particular emphasis will be laid upon the fundamental and cultural studies, the entire first and second years being devoted to these subjects. In the later years these studies will be combined with profes- 10 Undergraduate Courses aional subjects in such amount as will give the graduate a training and equipment enabling him to take intelligent and increasingly responsible part in engineering under- takings. Particular effort will be made to impart a thor- ough grounding in the central principles of the several branches of Engineering, the greater portion of the time being devoted to this purpose. The further study of spe- cial applications will be assigned to the graduate years. The course of undergraduate instruction will continue through four years; during the first three years the pro- gram of studies in all three branches will be the same. The fundamental studies of the first two years will be con- ducted with the aid of the Faculty of the College of Arts and Sciences. In the third year a course in the elements of each of the branches, — Civil, Electrical and Mechanical Engineering, — must be followed by all the students. E ree- hand drawing will be taught in the first year and mechan- ical and engineering drawing will continue through all four years. Specialized professional instruction will be confined in the undergraduate course to the fourth year. In this year two professional courses in each of the branches of Engineering — each extending through the en- tire year — will be offered. The student may thus choose at the beginning of the fourth year the branch of Engin- eering which he wishes to follow. The fourth year also offers opportunity for one elective course. In addition to recitations and personal conferences, prac- tical work in the laboratory, demonstrations, and the study of existing engineering installations will be prominent features of the methods of instruction. In the year 1914-1915 the professional study and ex- perimental work of the undergraduate courses will be fol- lowed in the new laboratories at Homewood. The arrangement of studies in the four undergraduate years is shown in the following tabulation: Undergraduate Courses Hours 11 A Laboratory and Class Conference First Year: English Composition 3 Mathematics 1-A (Analytical Geometry, Ele- ments of Calculus) 5 2 Physics 1 3 6 French, or German 4 Freehand and Mechanical Drawing; Descrip- tive Geometry 6 Physical Training 5 Second Year: Mathematics 2 (Differential and Integral Cal- culus ) 3 2 Physics 2 (Mechanics and Thermodynamics) . 4 4% Chemistry 1 3 6 English Literature 5 3 Engineering Drawing 6 Vocal Training 1 Surveying 5 weeks following the close of the class work of the year.

The headquarters of this course during the summer of 1914 will be at Homewood, where a careful topographic study of the new site of the University will be made. It will he also required of each student that one or more of the summers in the undergraduate period shall he spent in a machine shop or in the employment of a manufactur- ing or other organization which requires the services of engineers. One requirement of graduation will he that at least four months shall have been spent in this way. Degrees A baccalaureate degree suggesting preliminary profes- sional training will be conferred on the satisfactory com- pletion of the four years of undergraduate study. Degrees in Civil Engineering, Electrical Engineering, and Mechanical Engineering will be conferred on the sat- isfactory completion of two years of professional study fol- lowing the baccalaureate degree mentioned above, or its equivalent. The degree of Doctor of Philosophy will be open to those who wish to proceed further in professional study and special investigation, and who comply with the require- ments for that degree as set forth in the University Register. Requirements for Admission to Undergraduate Courses Those who wish to enter the undergraduate courses of the Department of Engineering, should apply to the Regis- Requirements for Admission 13 trar of the University for a blank form of application for admission, which must be filled out and returned to the Registrar one week at least before the time set for the entrance examinations. Before being admitted to the examinations the applicant will be expected to furnish, on the blank form mentioned above, certificates showing that he has successfully comple- ted courses of study equivalent to the graduating require- ments of a standard four-year high school in the following subjects: — Mathematics; English;. French or German; Latin ; History ; a Science such as Chemistry, Physics, Bi- ology, Physical Geography, or Botany; and Mechanical Drawing. Fifteen “ units ” will be required in the above subjects. A “ unit ” represents a year’s study in any subject at a secondary school, constituting approximately a quarter of the full year’s work. Twelve of the fifteen “ units ” are prescribed in connection with the several subjects as indi- cated in the list below : Mathematics: Algebra (one and one-half units), Plane Geometry (one unit) and Plane Trigonometry (one-half unit) . English: Reading and Study to the equivalent of the full high school course (three units).

The remaining three units necessary to make up the requisite fifteen may he offered by selection from the fol- lowing subjects: Solid Geometry : One-half unit. Latin: If a three or four year course has been fol- lowed, one or two units. Greek: If the course has extended over two years, one unit. French or German: If a three year course has been followed, one additional unit. Botany or Zoology or Physiology or Physical Geography: One unit. Physics: Laboratory note book must be submitted; one unit. Chemistry: Laboratory note book must be submitted; one unit. Mechanical Drawing : Three completed ink drawings must be sub- mitted; one unit. In making application for entrance the candidate should state the subjects in which he proposes to offer the three elective units. Examinations for entrance will be held at the Univer- sity on June 2-5 and September 22-25, 1914. The ap- plications for admission must be returned to the Registrar properly filled out at least one week before the time set for the examinations. The regular charge for tuition for those who do not hold scholarships, is $150 per year. There are also cer- tain laboratory fees and other minor charges. /Scholarships 15 Advanced Standing i A student may be admitted to advanced standing only by passing the necessary examinations. Applications for advanced standing must be made upon blank forms to be obtained from the Registrar; and the examinations must be passed at entrance. A student entering from another college of good stand- ing, or from certain advanced schools recognized by the University, may be credited with work already done, pro- vided he submits certificates satisfactory to the Committee on Admission and Advanced Standing. Scholarships The scholarships in the Department of Engineering are awarded only to deserving young men whose means are such that they are unable to procure a technical education unless free tuition is granted them. In order to obtain the award of one of these scholarships, application must be made both for entrance to the Univer sity and for the scholarship on blank forms which will be furnished by the Registrar of the University upon request. Applications for these scholarships will be considered only after the applicant has passed the required examina- tions for entrance held as above stated in June and Sep- tember. Applicants are strongly advised to take these examinations in June in order that possible deficiencies may be made up during the summer months. The award of these scholarships will be such that as nearly as possible the same number of appointments may be made each year. At present fifty-four scholarships have been awarded. In the year 1914-1915 scholarships will be vacant in the Counties and in Baltimore City in accordance with the following list: 16 Scholarships Allegany 3 Anne> Arundel 1 Baltimore City, 1st dist. ... 2 Baltimore City, 2nd dist .... 2 Baltimore City, 3rd dist .... 2 Baltimore City, 4th dist. ... 2 Baltimore County 2 Calvert 1 Caroline 1 Carroll 1 Cecil 1 Charles 1 Dorchester 1 Frederick 1 Garrett 1 Harford 1 Howard 1 Kent 1 Montgomery 1 Prince George’s 1 Queen Anne’s 1 St. Mary’s 1 Somerset 1 Talbot 1 Washington 1 Wicomico 1 Worcester 1 The total number of scholarships which may be held by the residents of the various counties and of Baltimore City are given in the following list: Allegany 6 Anne Arundel 4 Baltimore County 6 Baltimore City, 1st district, 6 Baltimore City, 2nd district, 6 Baltimore City, 3rd district, 6 Baltimore City, 4th district, 6 Calvert 2 Caroline 3 Carroll 4 Cecil 3 Charles 2 Dorchester 4 Frederick 5 Garrett 3 Harford 3 Howard 2 Kent 2 Montgomery 4 Prince George's 4 Queen Anne’s 2 Somerset 3 St. Mary’s 2 Talbot 3 Washington 5 Wicomico 3 Worcester 3 If there is more than one applicant for a particular scholarship, a special competitive examination will be held the day following the Autumn entrance examinations. Announcement will then be made of the relative stand- ing of the applicants. The successful competitors must then each secure the certification of the Senator from his County or Legislative District that the applicant re- Scholarships 17 sides in such County or District, and that his financial circumstances are such that he is unable to procure a tech- nical education without free tuition. No award of a schol- arship will be made until this certification is reecived. The results of the competitive examination will be sent to each Senator together with the necessary blank forms of certification. In addition to the scholarships in the above list six scholarships “ At Large ” will be awarded to any other- wise properly qualified residents of the State of Maryland. Three scholarships carrying exemption from tuition and other fees are also offered to graduates from Maryland of each of the following colleges: Loyola College, Maryland Agricultural College, Mt. St. Mary’s College, Rock Hill College, St. John’s College, Western Maryland College and Washington College. The award of these scholarships is to be made without reference to the ability of the appli- cant to pay tuition fees, and will be solely on the basis of merit as certified by the president of the college. The scholarships entitle the holder to free tuition, free text-books and exemption from all laboratory fees. One scholarship in each County and in each Legislative Dis- trict of Baltimore City also carries the sum of $200 or other provision for defraying the cost of the board and lodging of the holder. Senatorial Scholarships may be awarded in 1914-1915 in Calvert, Garrett, Howard, Talbot, and Worcester Coun- ties and in the Second Legislative District of Baltimore City. The appointments to scholarships are for one scholastic 3 r ear, but the holders are eligible for reappointment from year to year if they conform in character, industry and ability to the standards and requirements of the Univer- sity. APPENDIX THE TECHNICAL SCHOOL BILL At the session of the General Assembly of Maryland, January, 1912, the Department of Engineering was es- tablished by the passage of the following Bill, approved by the Governor, April 4, 1912 : Laws of Maryland January Session, 1912, Chapter 90. An Act providing for the establishment of scholarships in applied science or advanced technology available to the residents of this State; appropriating to the Johns Hopkins University for this pur- pose the sum of six hundred thousand dollars, and also the annual sum of fifty thousand dollars; and providing also a bond issue for said appropriation of six hundred thousand dollars. Whereas, it is declared, in Article 43 of the Declaration of Rights of this State, that “ the Legislature ought to encourage the diffusion of knowledge and virtue, the extension of a judicious system of general education, the promotion of literature, the arts, sciences, agriculture, commerce and manufactures, and the general ameliora- tion of the condition of the people ” ; and Whereas, in furtherance of the principle so declared it is deemed advisable to extend to the people of this State the opportunities and facilities for education in applied sciences and advanced technology, and free tuition in said courses of study by adequate provision for scholarships for said purposes; and Whereas, by resolution of the House of Delegates and the Senate, special committees were appointed to confer with the Trustees of The Johns Hopkins University for the purpose of determining the advisability of establishing at the University a school or depart- ment of applied science and advanced technology, and of providing for free scholarships in the courses of study pursued therein; and said committees have favorably reported the plan therefor embodied in this Bill; Therefore, Section 1. Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Maryland that the sum of six hundred thousand dollars is hereby appro- 18 Act of Legislature 19 priated to the Johns Hopkins University; to be paid to said Uni- versity on the first day of November, 1912, or as soon thereafter as the proceeds from the sale of the bonds authorized by Section 6 of this Act shall have been received by the State. Section 2. And be it further enacted, that there is hereby appro- priated to The Johns Hopkins University the annual sum of fifty thousand dollars, and that the Treasurer of this State be and he is hereby authorized and directed, upon the Warrant of the Comptroller, to pay to the Johns Hopkins University the sum of fifty thousand dollars annually, accounting from January 1st, 1913. Section 3. And be it further enacted, in order to better subserve the interests of this State, and to offer advantages to the young men of the counties and of Baltimore City not otherwise available to them at present, the said The Johns Hopkins University, in con- sideration of said appropriations made by the foregoing Sections 1 and 2, shall establish one hundred and twenty-nine ( 129 ) scholar- ships entitling the holders to free tuition in said department of applied science or advanced technology, or in the courses prepara- tory thereto, which scholarships shall be open to the worthy young men of this State as hereafter set forth. Section 4. And be it further enacted, that said scholarships shall be apportioned or allotted as follows: First: There is hereby apportioned to the residents of each of the counties of this State and of each of the Legislative Districts of the City of Baltimore a number of said scholarships equal to the representation in or number of Delegates which such County or District may be entitled to elect to the House of Delegates at the time of the passage of this Act. Six scholarships, or scholarships at large, shall be open to the residents of this State, without refer- ence to the County or Legislative District in which they may reside. Only such deserving young men, whose residence in such County or District shall be bona fide, and whose means are such that they are unable to procure such technical education unless free tuition is granted them, shall be eligible for appointment to such scholar- ships. Whenever any vacancy shall occur in the scholarships allotted to the residents of any County or Legislative District, such fact shall be advertised by the University in a newspaper published in such County or City, and due notice given of the date, time and place of the examination for said scholarships. The list of candi- dates who pass the examination shall be prepared and published and their relative standing or order of merit given. Notice of any vacancy in the scholarships at large shall be given by advertisement published in a newspaper published in the City of Baltimore, and the names of the qualified candidates and the order of their standing or merit shall be similarly published. 20 Act of Legislature None of the scholarships provided for by this Section First shall, however, be awarded by the University to any candidate therefor, unless the Senator from the County or Legislative District in which such applicant resides certifies that his residence in such County or District is bona fide and that his financial circumstances are such that he is unable to procure such education without free tui- tion as above provided. Whenever there are several applicants for the same scholarship all eligible under the foregoing requirements and all certified as eli- gible by the Senator from the County or District as above provided, that then the award of the scholarship by the University shall not be based on the standing or order of merit alone, but the merit and financial circumstances shall be considered together for the purpose of selecting the most deserving of said applicants: Second: Three of said scholarships are apportioned or allotted to graduates of each of the following colleges: Loyola College, Maryland Agricultural College, Mount St. Mary’s College, Rock Hill College, St. John’s College, Washington College, Western Maryland College The award of scholarships to the graduates of said Colleges shall be made without regard to the ability of the applicant to pay tuition fees, and such award shall be determined solely by the scholastic standing and merit of the applicant as determined and certified by the president or other executive officer of the college of which he may be a graduate. Third: The original and subsequent awards of scholarships shall be so arranged, so far as their number and the duration of the courses of the study permit, that substantially the same number of original awards as distinguished from renewals or reappointments shall be made each year, and so that such residents of said Counties or Legislative Districts and graduates of said Colleges may at all times hold the number of such scholarships to which they are en- titled, and so that the total number of such scholarships so held at one time may as nearly as possible be equal to, but shall not exceed, one hundred and twenty-nine scholarships. Fourth: The holder of any scholarship hereby provided for shall be entitled to free tuition in any one of the courses in applied science or advanced technology, or the courses preparatory thereto, which may be from time to time established and defined by the University. Appointments to scholarships shall be made for one scholastic year, but the holder of any such scholarship who may in character, industry and ability conform to the standards and requirements of the University shall be entitled to reappointment or renewal of the award at the expiration of each year until the Act of Legislature 21 selected course of study shall have been completed; the holder of any scholarship hereby provided for shall be subject to no expense for laboratory fees, library dues, the purchase or use of books or supplies, matriculation and graduation fees or any expenses as a student at said institution. Nothing herein contained shall in any way impair or affect the control by said University of its operation and of any of the studies pursued therein, or impair or in any way affect the power to fix the standards of scholarship required for admission to the University or for the continued prosecution of studies therein, or the examina- tion or other method of ascertaining or determining such fitness in scholarship or otherwise, or the power to maintain, prescribe and enforce the discipline, rules and regulations of the University. Fifth: No distinction shall be made as to the rights and privi- leges or duties and obligations between the holders of said free scholarships and students who may pay the regular tuition.
